Product information "Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4"

Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 delivers the computing power of the popular Raspberry Pi 4B, but in a small form factor, ideal for integration into your own products.

Key features include a powerful 64-bit quad-core processor, dual display support at resolutions up to 4K, hardware video decoding up to 4Kp60, up to 8 GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, two camera interfaces, and PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface.

The optional dual-band 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 have modular compliance certification. This reduces the required compliance testing for end products based on the CM4, reducing both cost and time to market . Either the built-in antenna or an external antenna can be used .

The Compute Module 4 has an integrated eMMC memory with a choice of 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB.

Raspberry Pi Foundation

Raspberry Pi: A real success story

Hardly any of the developers of the Raspberry Pi would have guessed at the beginning what gigantic popularity their mini computer would one day enjoy. The original motivation of the creators was to counteract the declining number of computer science students at Cambridge University. The previous knowledge among the decreasing number of first-year students was also decreasing noticeably. The remedy was to be a computer that was easy to use and as cheap as possible, with which programming could be learned in a playful way. According to the developers, young people interested in programming are reluctant to experiment with more expensive and complex home computers for fear of possible damage. In 2006, for example, a prototype was already produced with an Atmel ATmega644 microcontroller. However, the actual success story of the Raspberry Pi only began at the beginning of 2012, when the first official Raspberry Pi model came onto the market. By the end of 2019, around 30 million copies of the popular mini computer had been sold.

Raspberry Pi Foundation

Behind the success is, on the one hand, the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a British foundation that is also registered as a charity. The aim of the foundation, whose trustees to this day come at least in part from the Cambridge University environment, is to promote the study of computer science - at universities as well as at schools. Production and distribution of the hardware, on the other hand, is carried out by Raspberry Pi Trading, a company wholly owned by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The fact that the name "Raspberry" was ultimately chosen for the company is related to the trend in the IT industry at the time to name themselves after fruits - see Apple or Acorn. The suffix "Pi", on the other hand, stands for "Python interpreter" - a reference to the fact that the mini-computer was originally intended to be equipped with a built-in interpreter for the Python programming language. It is no coincidence that the Raspberry Pi is so popular because the compact single-board computer has many talents: on the one hand, it is suitable as an energy-saving desktop thanks to its 700 Mhz ARM CPU. But the Raspberry Pi is also suitable as an inexpensive media centre for the living room: thanks to its HDMI output and the XBMC interface, videos with 1080p resolution can be displayed on a screen as well as on a TV without any problems.

Tech projects with Raspberry Pi

Above all, however, the mini computer is extremely popular with tinkerers and programmers who like to experiment. A wide variety of tech projects can be carried out simply and easily with the help of the Raspberry Pi: For example, the mini computer can be used to create a game console, a robot or a weather station. Perhaps the most characteristic feature of the Raspberry Pi is its compactness: the dimensions of the small computer - depending on the model - are only up to 93.0 mm x 63.5 mm x 20.0 mm. At the same time, the powerful circuit board is only as big as a credit card. The Raspberry Pi is available in various versions and is constantly being optimised and re-released by its creators. At Berrybase, the in-house Raspberry Pi shop, you will not only find all Raspberry Pi models - you will also receive a huge range of Raspberry electronic products for countless areas of application - both from our own production and from established top brands. So nothing stands in the way of your next tech project!

Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions before commissioning and observe the safety instructions.
Only operate with the recommended power supply unit to avoid damage.
Do not cause short circuits on the GPIO pins - risk of damage to the module.
Take care when handling: Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Do not operate in a damp environment or at extreme temperatures.
To avoid damage, do not connect or disconnect the module under load.
In the event of malfunctions, disconnect from the power supply immediately and consult a specialist.
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for electrical waste - do not dispose of in household waste.

Hervorragender Homeserver

Dieses Modul eignet sich hervorragend für einen Homeserver. Hiermit können die Dienste des täglichen Bedarfs (privat und freiberuflich), wie E-Mail, Messenger, Datenspeicher nach Hause geholt werden. Das, und nur das entspricht dem Datenschutz für freie Berufe gem. § 203 StGB. Patienten- und Mandantendaten gehören nicht nach Wolkenkukuksheim!
